[mary j. Bliges work that plays] harris hello, pennsylvania. Are you ready . Joes here. Jills here. Johns here. You are here. Re, and we are here to bring the selection home. But weve got one more day. That is it. One more day and joe and i are so grateful, so grateful for your support, your prayers, your love, for your time. , forteering, making calls your trust in us and for your vote. Tomorrow, asd into wehead into tomorrow, i know are empowered. We are optimistic about our future. We know the strength of unity. America. He strength of [cheers] me toow, when joe asked join this ticket, saying yes was an easy decision. He and i come from different backgrounds, but we were raised with the same values. Decency, ahonesty, belief that we all have a responsibility to look out for one another and those are the values ive seen as ive traveled across our country over the past 84 days. The values we share as americans across our country. You can feel you can feel that something is happening. In big cities and small towns, Wearing Masks and socially distancing. I have seen people lining the streets and gathering on corners to show their support. They are bringing their children, holding up signs, wearing their colors and strolling to the polls [laughs] [applause] [cheers] and waving the red white and blue [cheers and applause] [cars honking] the energy out there is real. And it is inspiring. In this battle for the very soul of our nation, we have seen what can be unburdened by what has been. We have seen who we are and a willingness to fight for the country we love. And that is why i know that tomorrow, we are going to elect joe biden the next president of the United States of america. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] so while we are on the subject, tell me. How many of you have already voted . [cheers and applause] honk if you have voted. [car ho andrns] horns]r and if you have not, find out when and where you will go tomorrow. There is still almost 20 four hours we have got to get this done. Honk if you have been sending text and making calls to get out the vote. [cars honking] because we all know from the time the polls open tomorrow morning until they close, every minute counts. We cannot let up because it aint over till its over. And everything is at stake. Our health, our economy, our childrens futures. A womans right to make decisions about her own body. [cheers and applause] a criminal Justice System that treats all people with dignity and equally under the law. A Supreme Court that it advances the legacy of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. That lives up, lives up to the phrase above its entrance, equal justice under law. The kind of country we want to be. That is what is at stake. It is all on the line. This is the most consequential election of our lifetime. The decision we make will without question last for generations. And i tell you, as i travel around, one of the biggest issues on everyones mind is the pandemic that is ravaging our country. And remember, back in january, donald trump knew just how bad the coronavirus was. That it was deadly and airborne. But what did he do with that information . He looked straight into the cameras at the American People and lied about it. He covered it up. Now, can you imagine what you would have done if you had known on january 28 what he knew . What you might have done, what your family might have done to prepare . Can you imagine how businesses, how our schools might have been able to prepare . How we as a country might have been able to prepare . But donald trump does not think about what is best for america. He only thinks about what is best for himself. And as a result, we have lost 230,000 lives to covid. So many people forced to die alone because of the nature of this virus. 230,000 americans. The last time we experienced loss like this was world war ii. In addition, we are looking at over 9 Million People who have contracted the virus and we know it is hitting communities of color the hardest. Latinos are contracting covid at three times the rate of others. Black folks are dying at twice the rate of others. Lets be clear. We are also in the worst economic crisis we have faced since the great depression. Because donald trump failed to contain this virus. He failed to lead. 23 Million People are receiving unemployment. One in five mothers with a child under the age of 12 is describing her children as being hungry. In america. In one in six households, folks are behind on their rent and concerned they may not be able to pay rent. Businesses small have closed, and yet, nine months into this pandemic, this president still does not have a plan to contain it. We have witnessed the greatest failure of a president ial administration in americas history. [cars honking] and on top of it all, President Trump is in court trying to end the Affordable Care act and take Health Coverage away from over 20 million americans. Hes trying to end protections for the over 100 million americans with preexisting conditions. Conditions like asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, or cancer. Honk if you know somebody, raise your hand if you know somebody with diabetes. Or high blood pressure, or asthma, or cancer. Fight is a fight for them. America, we cannot afford four more years of donald trump. And the first thing joe and i will do when we are in the white house is get this virus under control. [cheers] [cars honking] we will listen to the scientists and Public Health experts. We will provide free testing and treatment and, when it is available, a safe vaccine for all. We will provide schools with the guidance and resources they need to reopen safely and we will bill back an economy that actually works for working people. [cheers] [car horns] and let me be clear. Joe and i will not increase taxes on anyone making under 400,000 a year. Period. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] but we will ask the super wealthy and biggest corporations to pay their fair share. And we will invest those tax dollars to rebuild our nations infrastructure, to tackle the Climate Crisis and create millions of good paying union jobs. [cheers and applause] make childcare more affordable and invest in our nations schools and teachers. [cheers and applause] we will build on obamacare and expand access to health care to tens of millions of americans, including expanding Mental Health care because we understand the body does not just start from the neck down. It includes the neck up and it deserves the health care that all people need. [cheers and applause] and we will lower Prescription Drug costs and protect and expand medicare and social security. And we will work to root out the systemic racism that still exists in our criminal Justice System. [cheers and applause] and we will confront, not condone, white supremacy. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] and fight for Economic Justice no matter your zip code or your race. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] and pennsylvania, we will begin the work of healing and repairing and uniting our nation. Democrats and republicans and independents, and people of all races and all backgrounds. Because we know that is how we have always overcome our greatest challenges. Together. And you know, joe gets that. Joe understands that. You see, joe is a leader who understands what the American People are going through. He sees us and he understands suffering because he has experienced so much of it himself. Joe biden is a leader of both strength and empathy. Toughness and humility. He understands that the measure of a persons strength is not who you put down, it is who you lift up. [cheers and applause] [car horns] he knows that no matter where we come from or where we live, no matter your race, gender, background or faith, no matter how we identify or who we love, no matter the language a grandmother speaks, what we have in common is so much stronger than what divides us. [cars honking] [cheers and applause] and that is the kind of leader America Needs right now. That is why, pennsylvania, we must win this election. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] remember this. Your vote is your voice and your voice is your power. And dont let anyone ever take your power from you. Now is the time to stand up. Now is the time to speak out. And now is the time to vote and vote like our lives depend on it because they do. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] our democracy is always going to be as strong, america our democracy is always going to be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. In this election, lets about vote like our democracy depends on it, vote like justice, equality, and opportunity, decency, character, and dignity are on the ballot, because they are. And one day, one day, our children and grandchildren and others, they will look us in the eye, each one of us, and they will ask us, what did you do at that moment . And i want to be able to say, we did everything we could to fight for our country and their future. So lets do that. Lets vote, and vote with conviction and confidence and hope, and let us elect joe biden the next president of the United States. [cheers and applause] [cars honking] thank you, may god bless you, and may god bless america. [mary j. Bliges work that plays] tomorrow is election day, november 3.
